Okay so this is a question for those who find this a bit problematic:
Do you sometimes not hear the final "i" ?
For example in the words "marți" or "tauri".
Just because I heard people saying they don't really hear any "i" in these cases.

Definitely -ți (which is probably the most frequent combination) sounds palatalized to me. On the other hand, îmi sounds just like [ɨm] to me in the samples I could find. Probably it would be easier to answer this question if you had provided recordings with various consonants.
Another oddity I've noticed is that the ea diphthong occasionally sounds just like [a] to me, in some recordings.

Levente.Maier wrote:ea is usually pronounced like a normal diphthong
but there are a few examples when the e is very short and the a a bit longer
like in the personal pronoun ea where instead of iea you may hear just ia.
But my question is that if you're a foreigner learning the language
how do you decide how to pronounce it? ( since there are 3 ways )
